Anyways, he has got to have some kind of weakness. Balder was invulnerable to just about everything, except mistletoe.

Theres also Jormundgyrs venom, it is able to kill a god and I don’t think Balder was origionally protected against that. At least I don’t remember the myth asking Jormundgyrs venom not to kill Balder. I know Jormundgyr is dead, but something that big has got to still have some venom in his glands or wherever its made.

Gram was a magic sword that was able to strike by itself. Sigurd used it to kill Fafnir, and Odin stuck it into a tree, among other stories – one waas one where a god traded it for another held by the Jotun… I forget exactly who was involved.

And that venom is a good idea, when Jörmungandr died he was said to poison the whole sea. Getting it would be simple.

gurk! REading back through, I see I made a typo, it should have been “seamless”, as in “nice job tying everything together” instead of “is something missing?”

and I still think Thor showing up in Helheim ought to through some serious ratchets in several gears. Like busting up that machine, (would that even help anything at this point?) or mayhap throwing him back in and reversing the machine, restoring both Baldor and Hel.

if all else fails, yes I’m iwth the Jomungyrs poison team, since a self wielding sword doesn’t look like it’d do much good at htis point.

Only one thing though, we don’t know whether the venom needs to be injected or if it just needs skin contact or something. Throwing it in Pookas face so that it gets in his eyes/mouth should be enough.

Still, they are going to have to get it first and they are going to have to treat it like a radioactive substance. Either using some sort of machine or if it turns out to be highly corrosive, then magic ought to work.

I’m liking the sound of that; Jormungandr’s venom on one of Loki’s mistletoe darts (doubtful anything else could break Pookah’s skin at this point). Sooooo, who’s in charge of weapons in their little band?
